Answer / suman agrawal
Using comp, the value will be stored in binary format.
The allocation in number of bytes is based on the number of
digit the variable use:
No. of digits Bytes
1-4 2 bytes
5-9 4 bytes
10-18 8 bytes

Answer / guest1
When you use COMNP Items, the internal storage stuctur of
the value is different. And also the storage occupied by a
COMP variable is less than the zoned variable [9(9)}.

I am not sure about previous explanation, however before that all explanations are valid.
One thing should be clear in our mind that COMP usage is good but it can not be displayed simply, it will store in binary format, so we need to convert it in to ZD, if displaying in SYSOUT or writing to a file.
Please let me know if I am wrong.
Thanks
